,ox,ox Oct 4--The best speech made IN
-.,oro, months In favor OF the Un1onist cause
oomo last week from Mr.. Chamberlain. IL mas
-. ,oo, answered by Mr.. Morley at Templecompe
nS.,,,h NV much of the latters effort was purely
,;a,oe,ico,. some of his points were unmistaKaoie
'aoossos II is embarrassing in these days ior
onv poltican to be reminded OF his u''er"noe'
ar,ing the past few years, and no one suner'
1ro,n tl,is mode Of treatment more than Nr
C,amberIain-Nlr Morley most efIectualy retort-
;,, unon Mr. Chamberlain Of to-day by quouhg
A. Chamberlain of two years ago. MT MorNS
.,ncas,iye aside that the Government had ho
;n,"ntion to bring in Land bill was douptiess
in,ended as a test of the sincerity OF the oo'erh
,ren,. He draws this inference from tne re-
,narkal,e fact of Lord Randolph Churchiils aoVo-
eating the land question avoided Tor uine'
while MIR. Chamberlain urged his own pecuhar
nostrum, tie purchase OF land py mum
cipsItics Mr. Morley's arguments showing the
,mpossibility of allowing Ireland to side ana 'he
untrustwor.hiness OF the conservatives ior re
to,minc liouors hws and the Church were the best
features of his speech. An unfortunate expression
that the reople of England were resolved that the
npODie
themselves has met with a crushing reply from
Mr Frederick Pollock in to-days Times" lie
o,,rpos from the converse of Mr.. Morleys argu-
,ont that the people of Ireland are resolved they
,iu NOT have the same laws as the people OF
England Mr. Polocks cold analysis OF Mt
Morlcy's sreech constitutes an ehectiVe response
on the points dealt with.
For the moment public interest is diverted from
.omo affairs to the Continental outlook. The
c,oud which threatened to disturb the pros
,oct of peacc over the frontier shooting incident
= now virtually dispersed. All accounts agree
that the princilal politicians in France as Well
as Germany are determined to maintain peace
c;opor Crispi's meeting with Prince Bismarck
distinctly confirms the Frightening aspect OF
affairs This meeting becomes more sighlhcan'
in view of the failure to secure an ihtcr'ie"
between the Car and the Emperor and OF tne
regent conference between Prince bismarck ana
Count Kalnoky. The Central European Alliance
has been an accomplished fact for some tiIne'
This evidence of it's vitality Immediately following
the Cars withdrawal from the kalserbund must
have a wholesome effect upon public opinion, and
Tho result is strengthened by the Austro-uerman
relations with the smaller States, like Rumama
and Serva The fact that the Odessa garrison
is being depleted is regarded as proof that Russia
concerns herself less with Bulgarian aHairs'
Russia's Balkan policy was imprudent for years.
but its folly is crowned by endeavoring WIN
Turkey to suppress the Bulgarian national senti-
mcnt Perhaps the rumors are true that husS'a
is directing attention 70 Asia Minor, where the
Central European Alliance does not interfere ana
the Anelo-Turxish convention is regarded as a
ac,d letter. Certainly there are many signs
which may indicate imminent Russian activity
in Armenia.
The Irish situation remains practically un-
changed The Government and the League are
in deadly grapple, but as yet 1t is uncertain
which will win. Although Lord Salisbury, Mr.
BaIfeur, Lord Halsbury and Lord Ashbonrnc arc
ready to go TO the utmost extIemi"es' uiey
cannot rossibly forget the restraint of pubic
oninion Conservatives are consoled win 'he
reflection that hitherto the Government have
aone al, they attempted. while the Nationalist
resistance is abortve The disappearance OF Mr..
Davitt and Mr.. O'Brien's escape produced bad
moral effect on their followers.
The country press join in a chorus OF con-
demnation of Lord Ailrsbury. The incident has
given a distinct stimulus to the demand for reform
in the House of Lords The most IcmatKaoie
result of Lord Ailesbury's misconduct was 1he
line OF The Times" on the day following 'ord
Aiesbury's punishment. This surprising ATTITUDE
has been followed by the still more astounding
declaration of the ultra Conservative Morning
POST that the admission Of an hereditary Peer
into the House of Lords should not depend solely
upon his reaching the age of twenty -one' and the
further proposal that the intellectual and legis-
htive qualities Of the young Peer should DC
snbiccted TO the test of an apprenticeship liKely
70 secure the confidence of the public. Evidehty
Lord Ailesbury has done more toward disirahchis-
inr his order than ali the Radical agltauon oi
tic last twenty years. Lord Ailesburys eccentrlc
dressing like costermonger, has LED 10 the
suggestion that out Of justice to real costefs ne
should discontinue a costume causing him 10 oe
mistaken for member of that highly respectable
body.
The principal men connected with the Congo
State in this country and Belgium have been
somewhat disturbed by the recent news OF Mr..
Stanlcy's mission. The loyalty OF TIppoo lib Is
greatly distrusted. This mans influence is
supreme in certain parts Of the Congo BASIN
Should he become treacherous, the very existence
Of Mr. Stanlcy's expedition will be gravely
jopardi7cd
Anclo-C -Colonials hope that the assistance given
the Vancouver-Japan service will be followed by
a subyention for the mails by the same route
10 Australia. In official circles this is regarded
as improbable. Parliament, which has great
objections to mail subscriptions, would consider
such subsidy q direct encouragement TO those
private enterprises, the Peninsular and Orlentai
and Orient lines, which provide such splendid
service To the Southern hemisphere.
Club accommodation increases by two thousand
to three thousand persons per year, and yet the
demand is unsatisfed. In the neighborhood OF
Rcra1iilv hon bui almost
finished; third, which will be frequented by
Conservatives, is in Regentst.
Vcreschagin is making great preparations for q
display Of his realistic works, including an
immense picture which is the largest ever shown.
One Of the most interesting forthcoming books
will be Grenyile Murray's Memoirs by his widow.
